Were they hard to keep since the CL are prone to ich or no?

What I do to avoid ich is I keep the temp of the tank at least 82*F. At 80*F or above ich ussually cant survive.

I do this and I haven't had ich since I can remember. A good 5 years for sure.

So yes, they did do good together and there was no ill effects on either fish. Plus the higher temps speed up their metabalism, and helps them grow a bit faster.

a school of bosmani rainbowfish would look nice.

you should always quarantine the new fish before adding it to your loach tank. it's the best way to prevent them from getting ich.
